Drilling Starts on Step-Out Hole at South Bay Project, Red Lake, NW Ontario, Drilling Identifies Additional Massive Sulphides in Discovery Hole


April 8, 2008

Vancouver, BC -- Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) (the "Company") announces that further volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization has been identified in its previously announced SB08-4 discovery hole located approximately 500 metres to the southwest of the former South Bay Mine, 80 km east-northeast of Red Lake, Northwestern Ontario.

In addition to the previously reported copper-zinc intercept in hole SB08-4 by News Release April 3, 2008, a second smaller zone of zinc rich exhalite was encountered 30 metres deeper in the hole at approx. 400 metres. The second zone was intersected over a core length of 2 metres. This may suggest multiple or stacked mineralized horizons, a common feature of VMS deposits.

A second hole (SB08-5) on this same Titan 24 target has now started. The second hole is collared 100 metres north of discovery hole SB08-4 towards the former South Bay Mine shaft and is being drilled in the same direction and with the same dip as hole SB08-4. The step out of 100 metres is deemed reasonable given the continuity of the geology and Titan 24 geophysical response.
